About Jamaica

A fascinating amalgam of African, Asian, European and Middle Eastern influences have shaped Jamaica’s undeniably vibrant culture.

Heralded as the birthplace of reggae, renowned for its fiery cuisine, and praised for its tropical beauty, Jamaica has been a beacon for tourists for decades. Whether swimming in the secluded coves of Ocho Rios or wandering the seven-mile stretch of white sand in Negril, our beaches are praised the world over. Add to that the warm aquamarine waters of the Caribbean, the lush tropical vegetation, the majestic cliffs and stunning natural waterfalls—and you can appreciate why we love to call this beautiful island home.
